About her Ph.D project: I am interested in the subject of widely common images that exist in public space, their impact on shaping the identity of the contemporary human. Images being the expression of current pop culture, which marginalized high culture as defined. My work is the representation of the query about the impact of these images on the society. It’s an analysis and observation of a visual language code created by the advertising world. www.innmuseo.com www.katarzynakozera.com
